... 5-6 second delay is very common,sometimes more like 10 seconds and they always fill me at worst possible price ...
I reckon that you're exaggerating way too much ... I'm using Pepperstone for quite a time and since early last year I've not experienced anything as bad as you claiming ... however, yesterday at around US data release for CB Consumer Confidence there was a brief platform freeze ... causing a bit of problem as I couldn't place my trade at market price right then and later on the price simply run away too far from my prefered entry point ... making it redundant of course.
... Twee,

I have no commercial interest nor any other connections with this broker or any brokerage services.

once i wanted to buy ....clicked on buy button....please wait....1-2 sec....connecting to server....2sec...order in process........(still not filled)......price goes up... not filled ....so i clicked on cancel button,the order window disappeared.... but seconds later it reappeared confirming that i bought xyz at abc price etc..

i'll record my trading sessions and will post the videos on youtube and then you'll know if i'm exaggerating or not.

I strongly recoment to shut down all your live accounts with them until they fix their problems.
This week i spent 10hours every day manual trading on live account (EU open until mid US) Heres what i experienced every single day!

- couple of server freezes 10-30 seconds before major news. Freezes up to 2 minutes.
- server freezes 3-10 times per day up to 30 seconds without news incoming.
- trade execution times from instant to 45seconds!
- slippages due very long execution times up to 35 pips!
Only positive thing...
Same experience here, live account freezes for about 15-60 seconds every 15-60 minutes, really not good for scalping, otherwise they are good, but they need to solve this issue. I have spoken with them about it and they just deny it.

... you're quoting someone who posted in November 2011 ... when it was a real issue at that time (as I've mentioned earlier)
anyway, don't you finding this strange??? ... that nobody else are having such problems or not posting about them right now.
So, most probably it's an issue at your end (PC or modem/router) or alternatively IPS problem (latency or unstable connection)
However, as Jack has advised you before: ask for moving your account to another server.

I had problems with execution but things have improved a lot since they added another server.

Retries: 0, Entry latency: 656ms, Slippage: 0.5
Retries: 0, Entry latency: 625ms, Slippage: 0.3
Retries: 0, Entry latency: 563ms, Slippage: -0.8

That's from my logs from yesterday. Sometimes it's faster (down to about 400 ms), sometimes also slower (1500ms this week, but only once). This is trading at bar open when they are often hit by quite a few orders so trading outside of those times should even be better. Also notice that positive slippage is good slippage and it's not uncommon.

That's EDGE03, the other one is slightly slower but still OK.

*perks up*

I just noticed this from a post in the broker's section by mmaker about brokers offering CTrader: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...73#post6680673

http://i.imgur.com/UKbRnLJ.png

It also shows up on Sprotware's site.

Then I went to Pepper's site to confirm and saw this:

Just off their main page here: http://pepperstone.com/

But no CTrader page yet in the platform section. Either way, looks like we will see CTrader added soon!

Jack I noticed it also. And asked support several hours ago about it.
This is a nice addition

Well, I have received an email enticement from them. They picked my address up from GoMarkets somehow (wondering if they might be affiliated with them in some way?). I too am wondering about their honesty, reliability, claim to STP trade execution, etc., etc. Could use another reliable Australian broker to do business with. Anyone out there with any actual history with these folks?
I've been using Pepperstone live for 4 months now from Australia. GoMarget's was the other one I would have chosen; yes they have a similar business model but I don't think they're affiliated. There is some slippage, but only within tight spreads at high-volume points in the market - nothing to complain about. I don't use EA's, but this account have been great for me so far.

The last I heard of any limit was from the old server (pre-Edge) of 50 or 100 pending orders, and it could be raised if you asked support to do so.. I think the limit was more so to stop malfunctioning EAs from bogging down the server than anything else.

If such a limit is on Edge as well, I imagine you'd be able to have it raised just the same so long as you asked support, but I'm not sure if they even have a limit anymore.

Best ask them:

No kidding.. I can't wait to get my hands on it.

I didn't hear about an exact date yet, but 'very soon' seems to be the response. They've already prepped their site for it, so we'll probably see cTrader sooner than later.

cAlgo looks very interesting as well.

I must have been blind, I just noticed this now:

https://www.youtube.com/user/pepperstoneforex

(Daily video links were on Pepper's front page.)

I'm not crazy about market commentary myself (most brokers who do this kinda thing just report on what happened in the recent past or what economic number releases were and the resulting move...) but I'm sure some longer term traders might enjoy it.

--

Still waiting on CTrader release. I keep bugging them about it too.. apparently it's nearly time to launch.

--

Also, I read on ForexMagnates that Sirix got an overhaul (Sirix is what Pepper uses for their webtrader and mobile alternatives.)

http://forexmagnates.com/leverate-la...-web-platform/

I emailed in asking if we'd see the new webtrader (which looks slick,) and they responded that they will be getting it as the platform is rolled out to brokers using Sirix.

So between Sirix and CTrader, Pepper will have people who like web interfaces covered.

--

If I hear anything else out of Pepper on the recent platform upgrades and new platform launches, I'll post it.

Other than that, I now have an account on the new Edge server, everything's smooth as butter.

I may make an announcement soon as a new thread in the commercial forum about some recent changes I've made to my own site (still not selling anything, but no where else to post it right now.)

Sirix is branded for the broker but from the article I linked at FM the new platform will look something like this:

Oh, and it's all HTML5 apparently, no more flash (thank god.)

what is the difference between mt4 and ctrader?

I used them both I actually like ctrader just because of the smoothness of its looks
